The Wrestler

Have you ever seen a one trick pony in the field so happy and free?
If you've ever seen a one trick pony then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one legged dog makin' his way down the street?
If you've ever seen a one legged dog then you've seen me
.
(Then you've seen me) I come and stand at every door
(Then you've seen me) I always leave with less than I had before
(Then you've seen me) bet I can make you smile when the blood it hits the floor
Tell me friend can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
.
Have you ever seen a scarecrow filled with nothing but dust and weeds?
If you've ever seen that scarecrow then you've seen me
Have you ever seen a one armed man punchin' at nothing but the breeze?
If you've ever seen a one armed man then you've seen me
.
(Then you've seen me) I come and stand at every door
(Then you've seen me) I always leave with less than I had before
(Then you've seen me) bet I can make you smile when the blood it hits the floor
Tell me friend can you ask for anything more?
Tell me can you ask for anything more?
.
These things that have comforted me I drive away (anything more)
This place that is my home I cannot stay (anything more)
My only faith is in the broken bones and bruises I display
.
Have you ever seen a one legged man tryin' to dance his way free?
If you've ever seen a one legged man then you've seen me
.
(Música e letra de Bruce Springsteen)

«Obrigado (...) a Darren Aranofsky, que me deu uma segunda oportunidade depois de ter lixado a minha carreira durante 15 anos. É um prazer estar aqui, fora das trevas.» - declarou Mickey Rourke após ter recebido o prémio BAFTA de Melhor Actor, por The Wrestler.
